2. Firelizard. In the German books they are called Feuerechse or plural feuerechsen. Feuer means fire and Echse means lizard, but that will not surprise you. The ch is a K sound here.

3. Firestone = Feuerstein(en) indeed, as you correctly thought.

4. Mating flight = Paarungsflug. Where Paarung is mating (could be translated with: something to do with two as Paar means two in both German and Dutch) and Flug means Flight.
btw: I suggest never to use this with a girlfriend who isn't a Pern fan as she will think you are totally nuts.

I can't write phonetic, so if you want pronounciations... that'll be hard to do but not impossible. Best thing you can do is to ask someone at Uni to pronouce the words/terms for you and write them down in your own language?
